Dry Cider July Looks to Celebrate 0g Residual Sugar Ciders

The ACA’s Dry Cider July campaign is set to launch on July 1, 2024 as a way of highlighting ciders containing zero grams of residual sugar. We encourage everyone to join the campaign through social media with the hashtags #dryciderjuly and #pickdrycider!

There is a common misconception that all ciders are sweet. The ACA is out to bust this cider myth–it’s actually easy for a cidermaker to ferment their cider to 100% dry leaving no sugar in the final product. For those looking to limit their sugar intake or who prefer the flavor of dry ciders, we have put together a database of producers and offerings that make finding these ciders easier for consumers. 

The range of ciders in the Dry Cider Finder reflects the vast possibilities of flavor and styles possible in cider, even without sugar. From single varietal ciders, showcasing specific apple varieties and served in a 750 ml bottle, to ciders aged on rose petals and sage and served in a 12 oz can, and everything in between.

The Dry Cider Finder can be found on our website.

If you are a cidery and have 0g residual sugar ciders that you would like to have showcased in the directory, please fill out our form here by June 18th, 2024 to be included on this year’s list. You must be an active ACA member to be included in the Dry Cider Finder.

For any questions regarding the Dry Cider July campaign, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Membership and Engagement Coordinator Miranda Bradeen.
